Accessibility Indicators

The following six categories displaying both perceptual and measurable concepts of accessibility are reviewed annually. These Accessibility Indicators are designed to transparently display campus wide observation on our commitment to the development of an accessible campus for individuals of all abilities.The goal is to develop a scale to be used to determine our present status reflecting each indicator predicated on baseline data gathered from the 2013-2014 survey results.

Principles of universal design are used to create course content in a way that minimizes the need for additional accommodation. (50.5% Agreed)

Instructors use a variety of methods for teaching content and offer alternative ways to participate in class activities. (52.5% Agreed)

The course syllabus statement encourages students to meet with the instructor to discuss accommodations and creates a supportive atmosphere. (74..4% Agreed)

Budgeting reflects the reality of the cost of accommodating current and prospective employees, students and visitors with disabilities. (29.5% Agreed)

Campus marketing, publications, and public relations include images and content related to disabilities. (43% Agreed)

If services are not physically accessible, alternative methods are provided that are equivalent to the basic source. (44% Agreed)

*Question # 5 under Indicator 6 (Inclusion) was written in a negative context, therefore the measurement is not in affirming the statement, but disagreement. This is the only question measured differently into the scale than others surveyed.
